Story Date: April 13, 2009

St. Louis Blues hockey player Dan Hinote took some time away from preparing for the playoffs to read to kindergarten students at Henry Elementary School.

Hinote and Louie the mascot visited Lisa Barton’s class to read to students as a reward for participating in the "Blues Bookworms Reading Program." The program is a literary initiative to encourage students in grades kindergarten to six to spend more of their leisure time reading.

The kids showed their team support with hats and pinwheels they made in Blues colors.
